知识模块:听力听力原文:U.S. government health and safety officials are investigating the cause of the recent explosion at a West Virginia coal mine, which killed 12 miners.[3]The accident was apparently an error in an industry which has prided itself on miner safety at a time of extraordinary expansion. Mine companies operate in 27 states, from West Virginia in the east to Montana in the west, producing a total of about one billion tons a year, or more than a third of the world’s coal supply. The U.S. economy is dependent on coal production. Coal-fired power plants generate about 50 percent of the nation’s electricity. More than half the nation’s coal is mined underground by thousands of men and women who daily risk injury and death. [4]But the occupation has become much safer since the late 1960s, when the U.S. Congress passed laws requiring federal mine inspections. 3. What do we learn about the recent explosion at a coal mine?4. What made the mining industry safer in the late 1960s?3.A.Nobody was injured in it.B.It was caused by an error.C.It killed 27 miners.D.It affected national electricity supply.正确答案:B解析:新闻开篇就提到,美国政府健康与安全局的官员正在调查一起煤矿爆炸的原因,之后说这明显是一起“错误”(error),故B正确。

由此可知A“移民改革是参议员提出的”正确。

移民改革在奥巴马三年前的计划中有所反映,但did not go far表明并未实施,故B“奥巴马已实施改革”不对。

根据三年前的蓝图,非法移民成为合法永久居民要八年,最终成为公民还须再等五年,C“非法移民很快会获取公民身份”与之不符。

移民改革还未实施,故D“改革没有改善现在的系统”不正确。

What do we learn about the storm system from the news report?1.A.The effects of floods in the U.S.B.A heavy storm system struck the U.S.C.U.S. states were facing floods threats.D.Tornadoes destroyed homes in the U.S.正确答案:C解析:新闻开门见山提出主旨:美国16个州正面临洪水危机(under a flood warning),紧接着介绍暴风雨引发的一系列美国洪灾。

因此新闻主旨就是“美国正面临洪灾危机”。

C正确。

A“美国洪灾的影响”只在新闻结尾提到,是部分内容,并非主旨。

B“一次严重暴风雨袭击美国”虽然有在新闻中提到,但这只是说明美国洪灾的起因,而不是主要内容。

A“起于十二月初”与新闻说的“十二月末”(late December)不符。

B“终止于密歇根州”,新闻是说该暴雨从新墨西哥到密歇根再一路向东(stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east),所以并非在密歇根州结束。

Main Street was always the heart of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many 37 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered 38 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 39 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 40 toshoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping center was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, 41 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. 42 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 43 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 44 of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 45 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.[A]designed [F]convenience [K]cosmetics[B]take [G]services [L]started[C]Early [H]fame [M]downtown[D]Attracted [I]various [N]available[E]though [J]popularity [O]cheapnessSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voice mail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood,know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when you’re younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says.D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Meters, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popularity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Meters says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.J) While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to nurture your old ones. We asked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making,and Keeping Friends When You "re Not a Kid Anymore, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend's life and show your support. Call or to let her know you're thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely) if something she did really upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks --she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答46. Leslie Danzig thought making friends at one's middle age needed some reasons.47. A well-chosen new friend can help you go in the direction that you like.48. A few years ago the author felt lonely and depressed when she phoned her best friend in another city who was much wanted then but unavailable.49. According to Kathleen Hall, one might feel sensitive in the first curse of making new friends.50. Midlife friendship can help you realize your direction of life and reinforce the progress you've made in your life.51. In Mafia Paul's book, to be a better friend, you should keep track with your friends, care for your friend's job, express yourself, accept her flaws and compliment your friend for her/his good dressing and job.52. For the author, a girl friend might be the right person to under "stand her and erase her negative feeling.53. According to Michelle Metes, midlife friendship is based on the shared values and activities54. As a mature friend seeker, the author finds herself with enough confidence to offer and take rejection with grace.55. With newly made friends, you can have a chance to take on a new look in your life.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences arestill far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.56. According to the passage, which of the following is true?[A]All international managers can learn culture.[B]Business diversity is not necessary.[C]Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.[D]Most people do not know foreign culture well.57. According to the author, the model of Pepsi__________ .[A]is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around.[B]is different from the model of McDonald’s[C]shows the reverse of globalization[D]has converged cultural differences58. The two schools of thought___________ .[A]both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures[B]both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries [C]admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world[D]Both A and B59. This article is supposed to be most useful for those___________ .[A]who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity[B]who have connections to more than one type of culture[C]who want to travel abroad[D]who want to run business on International Scale60. According to Fortune, successful international companies__________ .[A]earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas[B]all have the quality of patience[C]will follow the overseas local cultures[D]adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey.A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, closeups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood.

大学英语四级改革适用(听力)模拟试卷317(总分:50.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、 Listening Comprehension(总题数:12,分数:50.00)1.Part II Listening Comprehension__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:2.Section A__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:(分数:4.00)A.The establishment of MCZs in the UK √B.The government has committed to setting up 50 MCZs.C.Wildlife organizations are satisfied with the announcement.D.People are worry about that there is no management plan.解析:解析:新闻从开头开始便提到英国水域的新海洋保护区域(MCZs)的设立,随后便讲了其意义和目的。

故A “建立英国海洋保护区”正确。

B“政府承诺建立50个海洋保护区”、C“野生动物组织对这一声明很满意”和D“人们担心缺乏管理方案”均有在新闻中提到,但都只是报道的细节,不足以概括整篇报道。

A.To protect the territory of the UKB.To balance competing interests in the reserves.C.To protect habitats, geological features and species. √D.To protect the profits of fishermen's groups.解析:解析:新闻最后提到,目的是保护珊瑚群等栖息地,白垩礁等地质特征,和诸如茎水母和大鳌虾等物种。

故C“保护栖息地、地质特征及物种”正确。

A“保护英国的领土”、B“平衡保护区内的利益竞争”和D“保护渔民的利益”均没有在新闻中提到。

(分数:4.00)A.On Monday.B.On Thursday.C.On Friday. √D.On Sunday.解析:解析:选项均为日期,预读选项时可判断本题询问时间,听音时应特别留意出现的时间点及其对应的事件。

新闻中提到这三个人是在星期五清晨被捕的。

故C正确。

A.To attack more people around South East Asia.B.To unite various IS-supporting groups across South East Asia. √C.To organise the attacks which were associated with IS.D.To control parts of Syria and Iraq in the future.解析:解析:新闻提到Insp Gen Karnavian说Naim的“愿景”是统一东南亚地区支持IS的各种团体(unite variousIS-supporting groups),B复现新闻原词,为正确选项。

新闻中未提到IS组织为了袭击东南亚更多的人,故排除A。

新闻中提到警方确认袭击事件与IS组织有关,这并非Naim所憧憬的事,故排除C。

D“在将来控制叙利亚和伊拉克的部分地区”也不是Naim的愿景。

(分数:6.00)A.Because he has contacted with his lawyer.B.Because he had to go back to Belgium.C.Because he said the attack is "only a rumor".D.Because he attacked Paris with guns and bombs. √解析:解析:新闻开头说巴黎袭击事件的嫌疑人Salah Abdeslam与他的律师联系了,他逃跑是因为他参与了巴黎的袭击事件。

故D正确。

A“Abdeslam与他的律师取得了联系”和B“因为他必须回到比利时”都是新闻的细节,但并不是其逃亡原因。

C“这起袭击只是一个谣言”这个言论并非Abdeslam所说。

A.Abdeslam had contacted with lawyer Sven Mary. √B.130 people were dead in the bomb attacks.C.Mr Mary has refused to comment on the report.D.Chakib Akrouh was the suicide bomber.解析:解析:新闻提到,比利时新闻社报道Abdeslam已经和律师Mary取得联系,律师拒绝对此报道予以回应,并且联邦警察称这一报道“只是一个谣言”,由此可知A正确。

B“130人在炸弹袭击中身亡”、C“Mary拒绝对报道做出评论”和D“Chakib Akrouh是自杀式炸弹”均有在新闻中提到,但与问题无关。

A.Abdeslam was attacking Stade de France.B.Abdeslam was throwing three suicide bombers.C.Abdeslam was at a petrol station in Belgium.D.Abdeslam was at a petrol station in northern France. √解析:解析:新闻的最后提到本周闭路电视的图片显示Abdeslam出现在法国北部靠近比利时边境的一个加油站,数小时后他涉嫌参加了巴黎的袭击事件。

故D“Abdeslam在法国北部的加油站”正确。

C的“比利时加油站”与新闻内容不符。

A“Abdeslam在袭击法国小镇”和B“Abdeslam投掷三颗自杀式袭击炸弹”均不能从图片中得知。

3.Section B__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:(分数:8.00)A.To prepare a class presentation.B.To watch TV program.C.To help him cure his headache.D.To study for a hard test with him. √解析:解析:选项都是不定式短语,本题可能询问目的。

女士说:“我们明天有线性代数期中考试。

我想你应该在学习,也许我可以跟你一起学习。

”故D正确。

A.He didn't know that she was enrolled in the course.B.He thought she preferred to study alone.C.He had made arrangements with others.D.He had done poorly on a recent test. √解析:解析:男士说:“我真不敢相信你居然来找我。

我的意思是你应该知道我上次考试的成绩,不是吗?”由此可推断出他上次考得不好,所以D正确。

A.She got 100 on the last test. √B.She is a friend of Kaven.C.She reviewed the problems.D.She gives the woman a call.解析:解析:男士说他希望认识他们班上上次考试考一百分的人,她一道题都没错,他问女士那人是不是Elizabeth,女士说是,故A正确。

录音中,是女士提议给Elizabeth打电话,而不是Elizabeth给女士打电话,因此排除D。

A.He quarreled with Elizabeth recently.B.He heard Elizabeth did poorly on the last testC.He doesn't want to bother Elizabeth so late. √D.He would rather study in his own dormitory.解析:解析:根据选项猜测,问题应该和Elizabeth有关,听音时要留意。

男士说:“什么?这个时间?已经10:30了。

我不想去打扰她了。

”故C正确。

(分数:8.00)A.A basic medical kit.B.Some food for weekend.C.The 3-day emergency supplies. √D.A sleeping bag and a tent.解析:解析:第一轮对话中男士就提到了主题词72-hour kits,后来又解释说a 72-hour kit包括三天的应急供应品,故答案为C。

A.Packing sweets is unwise for health reasons.B.Cooking warm meals can lift people's spirits.C.It is wise to buy easy-to-prepare food. √D.It's necessary to get food cooked in advance.解析:解析:根据选项可知问题与食品有关,听到As for food时注意捕捉后面的信息:关键词是little /no preparation,即C。

A.A very overcrowded place. √B.A tightly sealed container.C.A comfortable resort like a hotel.D.A place lacking water and food.解析:解析:听到shelter时注意相关描述,关键在于理解习语packed like sardines in a can“像罐头里的沙丁鱼”,比喻拥挤不堪。

所以A正确。

如果听到了男士说的“可能和成百上千的人住在一起”也可以大概猜出女士的话意。

A.Two-way radios. √B.Mobile phones.C.Credit cards.D.Sleeping bags.解析:解析:四个选项都是物品,听音时要注意与对话内容匹配。
